This guy is incredible. Heard about him from Bill Simmons, sports writer on Espn.com. He creates magic with his piano, wrote the theme song for Simmons' podcast.

CO2 Saver, Reduce Emissions from Your Computer


April 22nd was the 1st birthday of the CO2 Saver application released by Snap.com.


"Exactly a year ago, for Earth Day 2007, we released a lightweight application called CO2 Saver that allows PC users to quickly and easily start saving electricity when away from their computers.

CO2 Saver resides on the desktop and immediately adjusts user’s Windows Power Management settings to reduce their computer’s energy use when idle, saving energy and decreasing the demand on their power utility. CO2 Saver is available as a free download from http://co2saver.org/



To date, over 600,000 lbs of emissions have been saved by all CO2 Saver users, and if you are still not one of them, now it is the time to download it, install and start saving energy."

Make Way for the new BlackBerry Bold


Will this new BlackBerry Bold compete directly with the iPhone?

Not according to RIM who are sticking to what they are best at. Targeting the smartphone folk is where they've been successful, and it's where they plan on staying. The iPhone, as far as they are concerned, can carry on smiling. The business folk, they believe will be flocking to this new device which although features the same screen resolution as the iPhone, appears sharper due to its smaller size.

That said, I'm excited to try this new smartphone as I am a huge QWERTY fan myself. Hello business world, we have a new tool to play with.

The Battle of the Sexes: Social Networking


30 million social networkers were surveyed by a company called Rapleaf that churned some interesting results. The focus of the study was how many "friends" a social networker had, and segmenting age as well as sex groups out of the group polled. "Within this group, women averaged 62 friends while men averaged 57 friends." That said, reasonings for this have been postulated at classifying the female users as more "nurturing" in regards to social network relationship building. On the other end of the spectrum, the male users were thought to focus on " acquiring relationships from a transactional point of view" when looking at social network relationships.

Although it's tough to attribute the real rationale behind these findings, it is rather interesting!
